This man is a member of the District of Columbia City
Council. You would expect that respectable government officials would have some
command over the English language. You would expect that they would comport
themselves with dignity. You would not expect that they would be promoting the anti-Semitic notion that Jews control the weather. If so you would be wrong.
The Washington Post has the story:
A D.C.
lawmaker responded to a brief snowfall Friday by publishing a video in which he
espoused a conspiracy theory that Jewish financiers control the weather.
D.C.
Council member Trayon White Sr. (D-Ward 8) posted the video to his official
Facebook page at 7:21 a.m. as snow flurries were hitting the nation’s capital.
The video, shot through the windshield of a car driving west on Interstate 695
through downtown Washington, shows snowy skies while White narrates.
“Man,
it just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man. Y’all better pay
attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation,” he says.
“And D.C. keep talking about, ‘We a resilient city.’ And that’s a model based
off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they
can pay for to own the cities, man. Be careful.”
So, you take a little climate change mania and add a bit of
Louis Farrakhan and you get Trayon White’s anti-Semitic rant.
When first called
out on it, White refused to apologize:
In a
series of text messages, he confirmed the voice in the video is his but
expressed surprise that his remarks might be construed as anti-Semitic. Asked
to clarify what he meant, he wrote, “The video says what it says.”
He did not understand that he was trafficking in
anti-Semitism. Huh? Lucky he was not a Republican. He would quickly have been
run out of town on a rail.
In time, White did apologize. He took down the video. And
yet, shouldn’t he resign his office in disgrace? An apology that is not
accompanied by a self-inflicted penalty is not sincere.

I am reminded of a line from a science fiction story of mannnnnnnnnnny years ago which went something like this: I remember the good old days when people just talked about the weather instead of doing something about it.
While the left shout "Nazi's" they are harboring anti semites and increasingly boldly. This is not good. They must be exposed. Consequences should follow but they will be sheilded by people who claim to hate "Nazi's".. Right out of 1984 Newspeak.
